Cardiac Amyloidosis and stroke

Posted by michaud @michaud, 2 days ago

Has anyone else had these two diagnosed together? I’m scheduled for adrenal gland surgery. Not sure if I should go through with it until amyloidosis has been confirmed. I think one or the other is the cause of the many strokes I have had, two of them considered major . I’m only 54. The only reason I know I had several strokes is from the MRI images. I have never felt them , not even a suspicion of one. Heck I might be having another right now.
It has taken about a year to get the surgery on the books. I’ ve had may appointments with specialists ( hematology, neurology, cardiology, neurosurgery, nephrology, endocrinology) plus physical therapy. Yet no answers or help in sight for the cause of the problem. Just more questions.

Yikes! Anything rare could definitely benefit from a second opinion at a top medical center. Best of luck to you.
